Chapter 952: The Imperial City, North Palace
The Grand Formation
Two thousand elite Iron Blood Guards and two thousand heavy-armored warriors formed a massive formation, each soldier carrying hundreds of pounds of food and supplies. These men were the cream of the crop, for ordinary men would struggle to carry such heavy loads.
At the forefront of this formidable force, several powerful generals stood tall, leading the charge.
Among them, Lu HaiKong, the Third Princess, Pan Feng, Dian Wei, and Huang Zhong, the strongest of Lu HaiKong's army, were all present.
A powerful army, led by formidable generals, was ready to embark on the conquest of the Emperor's Tomb.
At the front of the formation, Lu HaiKong took out a ring from his finger.
"Do you wish to use the Emperor's Tomb Teleportation Stone?"
"Yes!" As he used the Divine Soldier Stone, his voice was resolute. In the next moment, within the formation, a pillar of light emerged beneath Lu HaiKong's feet.
The light was initially faint, but as it flickered, it grew stronger, eventually soaring into the sky, reaching a height of over a hundred meters, becoming an eye-catching beam.
The pillar of light lasted for several minutes, and then, abruptly, it vanished.
However, the impact of the light remained, drawing the attention of numerous spies and informants.
Ever since Lu HaiKong's army had been stationed here, many spies had been keeping a close eye on them.
This pillar of light, in particular, piqued the interest of these spies, and even more so, the forces backing these spies.
From the moment the light pillar appeared, many spies attempted to approach the formation, eager to uncover its secrets.
Yet, Lu HaiKong's tight security prevented them from getting too close.
Especially after Lu HaiKong used the Emperor's Tomb Teleportation Stone, the area was heavily guarded.
Within Lu HaiKong's tightly secured area, spies continued their efforts, determined to discover the secrets within Lu HaiKong's formation.

Chapter 2: The North Palace, Prime Minister's Office
The Study
Unlike Shi Zhi Cai's playful office, filled with cute pets and toys, Xun Yu's study was more formal. There were no playful pets running around, nor were there any toys scattered about. Even the occasional visit from a couple of cute little girls was absent.
However, Xun Yu's office had its unique charm. Aside from Xun Yu himself, many others were hard at work within his study.
Since Lu HaiKong's teleportation, Guo Jia, who usually appeared carefree, was now diligently working.
Chen Ping and Dan Fu, who had been brought over by Lu HaiKong, were also here, and among them, Guo Jia was the busiest.

Title: The Empress's Command: Unveiling the Mystery
Chapter:
In the Northern Palace, Guo Jia and his team were busy analyzing the intelligence gathered from the various sources, piecing together the information like a jigsaw puzzle. The data was incomplete, and these pieces were either exposed or dug out after the appearance of the Light Pillar.
Guo Jia needed to consolidate this information, assessing the spies' capabilities, their behavior patterns, the forces behind them, and their intentions.
From Guo Jia's actions, it was clear he had no intention of moving against the spies.
This was Shi Zhi Cai's strategy, as the creator of the Lu Hai Kong Intelligence System. Shi Zhi Cai was well aware of Lu Hai Kong's current situation in Beifeng City, and the existence of spies was inevitable.
No matter how many spies they captured, their backers would arrange for more to infiltrate Beifeng City. Lu Hai Kong could kill as many as they wanted, but their backers would send double or triple the number of spies in retaliation, tirelessly continuing their efforts.
Moreover, their methods of infiltration would become more covert and harder to control.
Instead of engaging in a prolonged battle with them, it was better to quietly and secretly take control of these spies, preventing them from causing harm to Beifeng City while also using them to convey messages, such as the current situation in Beifeng City.
Chapter 6, Book 1, a must-read version!
Lu Hai Kong's disappearance was almost impossible to cover up, but Lu Hai Kong's motives could be altered.
Guo Jia and his team first sealed off the school grounds, luring the spies' attention and dangling the bait before them. Then, they let the spies focus on the school field, and after they paid a heavy price, they learned about the so-called secret within the school field, which was a mysterious stone gate.
Upon learning about the mysterious stone gate, regardless of whether this grave was real or fake, as long as there was the Undying Pill and Undying Medicine within, that was the truth for Lu Hai Kong.
This was Guo Jia's series of operations, and currently, everything was going according to their pre-set plan.
...
In Beifeng City, while Guo Jia was playing with the spies, on the other side, Lu Hai Kong and his troops, after activating the props, experienced a sense of weightlessness and teleportation, arriving at the special dungeon, [Emperor's Tomb].
When Lu Hai Kong appeared with his troops at the [Emperor's Tomb], he was immediately stunned.
What he saw before him was not a dark and eerie underground space, nor a grand underground castle, but instead, he found himself in a lush green valley.
Green grass and hills were beneath his feet, and above his head was the blue sky and white clouds, a situation completely unexpected by Lu Hai Kong.
While Lu Hai Kong was surprised, the system prompt arrived as promised.
[You and your troops have successfully entered the special dungeon, [Emperor's Tomb]. Below is the basic information about [Emperor's Tomb].
Emperor's Tomb
Dungeon Type: Special Dungeon
Dungeon Description: Legend has it that Emperor Qin Shi Huang had thirteen [Emperor's Tombs], and this one is one of them. This [Emperor's Tomb] is the largest among them, and deep within this [Emperor's Tomb] lies the Undying Pill and Undying Medicine.
Dungeon Clearance Requirement: Capture [A Fang Palace]
Ps: Who says graves are always underground? This [Emperor's Tomb] is an above-ground burial palace, so please enjoy the magnificent architecture!
"Oh, you little sister!"
Lu Hai Kong was shocked when he saw the introduction of [Emperor's Tomb], his mood suddenly took a turn for the worse.
He originally thought this grave must be the real [Emperor's Tomb], but he never expected there to be thirteen of them, and he couldn't confirm whether this particular one was real or fake, which made Lu Hai Kong quite upset.
Fortunately, this [Emperor's Tomb] seemed to have the Undying Pill and Undying Medicine, and regardless of whether this [Emperor's Tomb] was real or fake, as long as there was the Undying Medicine, that was the truth for Lu Hai Kong.
Lu Hai Kong closed the attribute panel with a wave of his hand, while commanding his legion to send scouts to survey the situation, and letting his troops unload the heavy materials, reducing unnecessary physical exertion.
"Hai Kong, come and see this!"
Lu Hai Kong was commanding his troops when he didn't know when the Three Princesses had climbed up the valley and called out to him.
Lu Hai Kong was taken aback at her words, and when he looked up, he saw the Three Princesses with their excited faces. Knowing their personalities, Lu Hai Kong's heart skipped a beat, and in a few swift leaps, he arrived at the Three Princesses' side, following their gaze. Lu Hai Kong's eyes narrowed...
